    Dogs lose Murphy and Johnson for three weeks

    WESTERN Bulldogs forwards Robert Murphy and Brad Johnson could be missing for the next three weeks, a cruel blow for the team that got its season back on track with a strong win over the Sydney Swans last weekend.

    Murphy will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Monday night to remove a small cyst at the back of his patella tendon.

    The club expect Murphy to miss between two and three weeks.

    Hope Johnno's injury concern isn't Scott West 2008 allover again.
    The curse is dead.

    Bad feeling about Johnson, hopefully he can get back to full fitness. Up and running he still has a lot to offer our footy team.

    Bad news about Johnno. Really hope he can get up and about soon.

    Also Sorry if it's already been mentioned but it's the first i've seen of it. Ayce Cordy listed as out for the year on Western Bulldogs site. Terrible news for the young guy.

    How many cysts has Murphy had removed? Seems like a few. His body doesn't sound too great, can't see him playing too many more years.

    What bothers me is that his form has been down, so obviously this injury has been a problem, and been carried, for some time. When we're not winning games, but still putting injured players on the park, it doesn't say a lot for our reputed “depth”…

    I think the one positive out of this story is our depth in the forward line now with the emergence of Grant and Stack. If Johnno and Bob had both been down in the past couple of seasons our forward line would have been in a fair bit of trouble (obviously Hall helps now as well). Hopefully the young guys can perform in their absence.

    A very early call..... if we play him on a half back flank for the remainder of his career, it would be less taxing on his body. Again I repeat, Grant is going to become more important over the next few weeks.
